Pistons and rings arrived at the machinist today. Also, my valve springs and valve stem seals came in but I need to take them to the machinist so he can finish up the valve job.

I picked up my block, pistons, rings, main/rod bearings and heads from the machinist yesterday. I had to work on the Cobra today so I didn't get much done on this engine but I did manage to clean it along with the crank and then installed the main bearings and crank. Tomorrow I'll get all the pistons installed and check to see how far down in the hole they are so that I can order my head gaskets.

I got the short block assembled today. I'll post up pictures tomorrow because I'm too tired to do it tonight. I cc'd the combustion chambers and checked to see how far down the new pistons are so that I could order my head gaskets. The new pistons are .030 down, have +3cc valve reliefs and the heads have a 60cc combustion chamber after some unshrouding of the intake valve and being milled .020. So I ordered .039 (stock is .050) gaskets which should give me 9.11:1 compression.

Should easily run on 87, and should still make 250rwhp

With the stock exhaust manifolds I'm thinking 235-245 at the crank.

Here are some pictures.

Exploder manifolds are some of the worst I've ever seen. Don't you dare run them!

I have no choice. I have to run them to get the truck BAR certified.

Bureau of Automotive Repair. They're the ones who do the engine swap certs.
